J. . Mr. Hart sald yesterday he disbe- lieves Cline's story of his proposal to Bergen to fight a pistol duel in a darkened upstairs room. He {s con- vinced that, when Bergen went to Cline’s home at the latter's invitation, he walked into a trap deliberately set and from which it was not“meant he should escape alive. Another development is that Cline appears to have been living under an alias. Satvrday he telegraphed his sister, Miss Margaret Walz of Phila- delphia. Yesterday she arrived in Hackensack, N. J., and visited him in jail. One of Mrs. Cline's brothers, who visited the jail with Miss Walz, when asked why Cline had been using an alias, became confused. ,He questioned the statement that Miss Walz was Cline's sister until told that she came in answer to a tele- gram sent by Cline to that name. None of the members of Cline’s fam- ily or that of his wife would say anything about the matter. It was recalled ‘that one of the notes found on Beérgen referred to Cline as ‘“alias George Walz.” Told Two Stories. Cline told the Prosecutor two sto- ries of the tragedy, the only material pont of difference being that in the first version he said his wife and her two brothers, Charles and Lawrence Scullion, were witnesses, while in the second he described the death struggle as takipg place in his bed- Yoom in the dark, with no others present. Admitting his first story was a lie invented under the influence of liquer, the story he now says is the truth is that Bergen attacked his wife six /weeks ago and he learned of it from her Friday. He then telephoned Ber- gen to come and ‘“clear up” the mat- ter. Cline raid he, his wife and her two brothers talked the matter over with Bergen who boldly admitted the attack. Then Cline proposed he duel and, pistol in hand, forced Ber- gen to mount the stairs ahead of him. In the room he handed Bergen a Ger- man Lueger pistol. As Cline reached up to turn out the light, he says, Ber- gen attempted to fire and they grap- pled. Cline got Bergen's pistol and in the struggle for the Colt Cline had, Bergen wgs shot. Hart Disbelieves Cline. “There was no evidence of a strug- gle, and I do not believe Cline ever gave Bergen a pistol,”” said Mr. Hart yesterday. ‘‘Cline’s own statements disclose the commission of a first de- gree murder. He tells of a struggle with the men so close together he is not sure who pulled the trigger. Ex- amination of Bergen's body and ! ¢lothes shows that neither his skin nor the coat he wore bears the slight- That this is a Genuine Sale is proven by the people who have come from miles around to take advantage of our Low Prices.

The shot that killed Bergen must have been . fired from a distance of at least three feet. “Cline, who, it seems, had a hobby for fireatms, was particularly fond of the German Lueger. Bergen knew this. In one of the notes found on his body after death he had written that, if he should be killed, it would be by Cline and, in all probability, with ‘a German Lueger, .25-calibre, as it is the favorite of his many gune.’ No man with a fondness for a pam ticular pistol would, under such cir- cumstances as Cline describes, give | his favorite weapon to his enemy.

Another theory is that he| was pleading for his life when the shot was fired.

A heavy breakfast, light lunch and heavy dinner, especially for mental workers was approved by more than 75 percent. of the list. A heavy breakfast after a night's rest was necessary, they contended, because the digestive apparatus was in good shape to care for it and also the sys- tem needed the fuel provided by such a meal to start the day's activities. Instinct should always be the guide according to the physicians and an appetite for pie upon rising would be satisfied “If people want pie for breakfast,” said one medical man in Illinois, “and they live in the pie zone don't rob them of their pie.
